Adult child living at home

morning all. I have 23yr old daughter living at home. Non verbal, baby signs, lots of grunts or pointing. Born with Cri-du-Chat Syndrome, diagnosed with Scoliosis at 18 mo, Kyphosis at 18 years, and Autisimal Delition Syndrome at 17 years. Mobile, only in wheel chair when weight drops, currently at 165 lbs and very inactive as far as exercise, but cant seem to sit still long, just doesnt move fast enough to get weight off. I started providing daycare services for children in our community when she was 8 years which has helped her develop from 18 mo tonow 3-4years mentally. Recently removed her toys (pool rings) because she chews on them to roughen up edges then digs holes or scrapes holes in her skin. Also self mutilates by picking digging and biting her skin. Would love self-entertainment ideas for her.
